The Burglars &c: 1882 for Their I ouble
Another Attempt.
Just after the TELEGRAa- HERALD went 70
press yesterday morning burglars entered
the Office OF the Toledo Brewing Company
on West Division 81. By forcing open the
front window with cbisel. 0Sce on the
inside they drilled 3-l6 inch hole through
the top of the safe, filed it with powder,
attached fuse and "let her go" The ex-
plosion blew open tie doors of the safe and
scattered the contents thereof around pro-
miscuously. The amount OF cash received
for their trouble was $3.52 They lett be-
hind them rs memenioes a brace and bit
and drills, a bottle of powder, several
empty bottles and piece OF fuse. A
The police are investigating the case,
and the perpetrators will doubtless be
brought to justice.

Surface water in the city of Palatka is
carried of at present entirely by open
drains. In these the stagnant water
stands in pools, and wherever this is the
case the germs of disease are being de
veioped. A very small sum would OBJ
viate this danger and do much to insure
the health of our summer residents. Let
these drains be frequently flushed with
water from our artesian wells, let few
aDorers remove the distractions, so that
the water will flow freely to the river.
and let the stagnant matter be driven
out. Twenty-Five dollars will do all the
work necessary, and probably the pris-
oners now in the Jail might furnish all
the labor required.
The well at the Court house would afford
enough water, but we have other wells
which might be utilized to clear out the
whole mass of dangerous matter in one
day.
Terms are now fostering i'm these open
bitches under the fervor of a summe,
sun; little care may save valuable lives.
we hope the Mayor will consider the
subject worthy of immediate attention
and see to it that these drains are flush,
ed often during the summer. 1t is a
simple precaution, but there is health
In running water-there is death in
the stagnant pool, and unde,
its green coat disease finds its teemine
seeds set in congenial surroundings The
